Hi, Lintama, Lack of nitrogen will not give you the 'mottled' effect you discribed just an overall yellowing, but I thought you said you had fed them?
Try the dithane anyway as I'm sure this will clear the problem, and it will not do any harm to give them a liquid feed again as they are quite hungry.
best wishes lannerman.
Hi Lannerman,
Yesterday I gave the plant some bone meal and watered it in. Perhaps it would be best to transfer the plant into the ground where it will get more nutrient.
I gave it some Multi-Grow a couple of weeks ago but perhaps one application wasn't enough for it.

I will get some of the Dithane as you mentioned and see if it helps.

Will I need to remove all the yellowish leaves?

Thank you again.
Lintama
